Tern Watch, Ogden, p.m.

                  Plenty LBB gulls through

   Unusual to get Common at this time of year
   The resident Tufted on high seas


With a strong WSW>6 blowing after tea I thought it was worth a dabble at Ogden in the hope of moving Terns.   No Terns but an interesting number of LBB gulls through stopping off on the choppy water before moving off again >N. Unusual to see a pair of Common gulls at this time of year calling in briefly to freshen up.
Otherwise it was just Mallard and the resident Tufted on the water.
A circuit of the reservoir found very little in the way of passerines in the strong wind other than Robins, Dunnocks, Gt Tits and a brief sighting of a Willow Warbler.
